Valentine’s Cake – Easy VDay Bundt Cake

This Valentine’s Cake is as easy as it is cute! Make our yummy Valentine’s Day Bundt cake with candy conversation hearts for the sweetie in your life!

My kids LOVE themed cakes, and this Valentine’s Cake is no exception! I love it, because we use a bundt cake pan and I am currently a billion percent obsessed with bundt cakes.

The thing that’s so fantastic about bundt cakes is they look fancy straight out of the pan. Even though you didn’t do anything special!

We made a monster themed bundt cake for Halloween, so as Valentine’s Day rolled closer, I figured a Valentine’s cake was the next natural step.

With bright pink icing, colorful sprinkles, and of course the quintessential Valentine’s candy – conversation hearts, this cake is sure to be the center of attention at any Valentine’s Day party you bring it to!

It would also make a super sweet girl baby shower cake! Just skip the conversation hearts, of course. Make it in blue for a boy baby shower cake!

You could even do a gender reveal cake with blue or pink colored candies hidden in the middle and yellow icing on the outside. Ohhhhh, someone needs to get pregnant soon, so I can do this!

We start our Valentines cake with a box mix, but use a few fun tricks to make it taste rich and decadent like a bakery cake with a few easy tricks!

Start by switching the water for whole milk. Yummmm. Then, instead of using vegetable oil, use the equivalent amount of melted butter. Finally, add one extra egg!

Those tips will get you a nice moist and rich cake – but if you want to level it up again, there are two more tricks you can use!

Rather than using a spoon or fork, mix your batter with an electric mixer. Handheld or stand alone is fine, but you’ll want to mix it for two to three minutes, so you incorporate some air into the batter and make it fluffy

Finally, add about a half cup of chocolate chips (or white chocolate chips if it’s a white cake) to the batter. Mmmmmm. Just one more delicious layer of flavor.

No one will ever guess that you started with a box cake mix if you use these handy tricks!
